What Red Limb Studio does

Red Limb Studio is an independent game development company founded in 2016 and headquartered in Tymbark, Poland. The studio employs a small core team of four — Franciszek Batko (Lead Developer), Adam Mrózek (Lead Level Designer), Maciej Dudek (Level Design and Art), and Jacek Batko (Marketing) — and develops games across diverse genres using a non-disclosed game engine. Its catalog comprises five titles: Smells Like a Mushroom (third-person sci-fi platforming shooter, in development), Kamikaze Veggies (third-person stealth adventure), Beat Me! (physics-based multiplayer party game for up to 6 players), Rise of Insanity (first-person psychological horror with VR support), and The Purge Day (VR-exclusive first-person horror shooter).

The studio monetizes exclusively through one-time digital purchases priced between $9.99 and $12.99 per title, distributed globally via Steam, Microsoft Store (Xbox One), PlayStation Store, Nintendo Switch eShop, Oculus Store, and Steam VR. Distribution and marketing rely on standard indie channels: a digital press kit, Twitter/X, Facebook, and YouTube for top-of-funnel awareness, with no subscription, live-service, or B2B revenue streams and no disclosed institutional funding. The Purge Day received a 'Top App Innovator' award from applive.net for its VR-exclusive design. Red Limb Studio is bootstrapped, founder-controlled, and operates as a horizontally-segmented consumer gaming business targeting general gaming audiences and VR/immersive gaming enthusiasts with no disclosed enterprise or institutional customer base.

Direct peers

• Bloober Team: Polish indie game studio known for psychological horror titles (Layers of Fear, The Medium, Blair Witch). Closest geographic and genre peer to Red Limb — same Polish indie roots and horror focus — though now larger and publicly listed.
• Landfall Games: Small Swedish indie studio behind Totally Accurate Battle Simulator and Stick Fight: The Game. Comparable physics-based multiplayer indie with similar small-team output model.
• Red Thread Games: Norwegian indie studio focused on narrative-driven adventure games (Draugen, Dreamfall Chapters). Comparable to Red Limb as a small, narrative-leaning indie studio shipping story-rich games across genres.
• Boneloaf: Small UK indie studio behind the physics-based multiplayer party game Gang Beasts. Direct comparator to Red Limb's Beat Me! — same physics-combat, local/online multiplayer for small groups, indie scale.
• Frictional Games: Small Swedish indie studio specializing in first-person psychological horror (Amnesia, SOMA). Closely comparable to Red Limb in team size, indie model, and horror specialization, including VR exposure.
• Yacht Club Games: Small US indie studio behind Shovel Knight. Comparable indie model: tight team shipping polished retro-style action games across multiple platforms (including Nintendo Switch).
• Mossmouth: Solo/small-team indie studio behind Spelunky. Highly comparable indie operating model to Red Limb — very small team shipping platformer/shooter titles with strong replay-driven design.
• Draw Distance: Polish indie game developer (Vampire: The Masquerade — Swansong, Chernobylite). Same Polish indie ecosystem as Red Limb with comparable team size and multi-genre indie output.
• Re-Logic: Small US indie studio behind Terraria. Comparable capital-efficient indie model: bootstrapped small team sustaining operations long-term through a single evergreen title's continued sales across many platforms.

Broad incumbents

• Supermassive Games: UK-based horror game studio (Until Dawn, The Dark Pictures Anthology). Genre peer for Red Limb's horror titles, though substantially larger and now part of a wider portfolio under Nordisk Games.
